About 10 people were stabbed during a clash at a solstice celebration in Hampshire.

The fight happened in the grounds of the Headley Park Hotel in Borden, near Farnham, just before midnight on Saturday.

Most of the 150 people at the event were Lithuanians who had been camping in the grounds since Friday, according to police.

Witnesses said that just before midnight 10 men, also believed Lithuanians, attacked the larger gathering resulting in eight to ten people being stabbed.

Most of those injured were men but at least one woman was wounded.

Ten men have been arrested and are being questioned by police in connection with the incident.
